Marie Whatley LPCC

People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe that people have a basic need of being seen and not judged for how they feel or think. I am passionate about providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them to discover who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works well for their personal life and personality to achieve their distinctive goals.

I have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. It is my duty as a therapist is to help increase my client's self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions!

As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.
